The Magician's Nephew Book Project

For my Magician's Nephew book project, I chose to do the soundtrack. For each song, there must be an explination:
Claro de Luna: Absolutely perfect for The Wood Between The Worlds. It is dreamy, calming, and music that makes you want to fall asleep. Played at a MP, It is just quiet enough to not overpower the silence, but shows that this is not a place to be afraid of.
Symphony No. 9: Charn!!!! It is eerie, frightening, and worrisome, and a place that anyone with any sense would want to leave immediately. It's power almost grows, as the tension builds. The crashes here and there could represent the falling buildings.
Crux Fidelis: Traveling from the Wood Between the Worlds to another world, or a world to the Wood Between the Worlds. Although it has words, it is soft and lighthearted. It is warm, and could almost be written to go with the traveling scenes.
Allegretto: The Growing of Narnia. It is perky, happy, and although it is not song-like, Aslan wanted Narnia to be a pleasant place, not a dark, depressing place, like Charn. The positivity is overpowering.
Carol of the Bells: (my personal favorite, if I may say so) ONLY THE FIRST 32 SECONDS!!!!!!!!!
A perfect fit for when Digory's mother was gradually getting better. It is happy, but like the music was improving the mood, or in this case, Ms. Kirke's health.

Overall, The Magician's Nephew by C.S. Lewis was an amazing book, that is recommended to everyone!!!!
I look forward to finishing the series!
